Holly Barn, Reedham, Norfolk 2006
Holly Barn is a new build house, built on the site of a dilapidated barn on the Norfolk Broads. The timber clad exterior resonates with the local vernacular of windmills and boat-houses. Inside, the house has been carefully designed and detailed to allow total mobility for the wheelchair-bound client.
The building has won a number of awards including the RIBA Manser Medal 2006 for the best one-off house designed by an architect in the UK, the Grand Designs Best New-Build House 2007, an RIBA National Award, a Civic Trust Award Commendation and the Wood Award for private projects 2006.

"A poetic exercise in wood" - Kevin McCloud
"The simplicity of form is misleading, as this is a meticulously considered project, a mature piece of architecture and a worthy winner" - Judges, Manser Medal 2006
